>> i'm very excited about this topic. there was controversy, it was announced that barbie would now come in different body shapes. they said people and studies said barbie represents unrealistic body mages for dpirlz, so in an effort to reflect real women, barbie would be available in curvy, tall, and petite sizes, i guess is what they're saying. is this necessary? >> yes. >> larry: that's my question. >> oh, yeah. >> larry: necessary? >> it is. the thing. the tall one is that i hope she's not tall and thip. i hope she's tall and meaty, because that represents a lot of us. >> larry: yeah. i think they should call her "meaty barbie." >> larry! >> that's how you sell those dolls off those shelves, meaty barbie. >> it feels like it's a weird thing because when you think about it, why stop there? you know what i mean? like, barbie's missing so many other realistic opponents-- >> pregnant barbie inverting

nipple barbie. there are so many other things about her that are wrong. >> or lacking, like underarm hair. i was the first kid in my class to get underarm hair. >> or underarm wobble. >> sure! >> hello! >> at some point, when you stop with the real-- >>y ifeel like it's a good thing but isn't part of the fun with being a kid is you can live in a fantasy world where everything is great and when you become a teenager you get hit with a sledgehammer. if you want her to be realistic, get her the out of the dream house. you know what i mean? she should have a smaller split level, and ken's not really around anymore. >> right! >> you know what i mean? he's building ikea furniture. you know what i mean. why stop-- why stop with the-- why scop here, you know? know. >> larry: is this an adult concern or a child concern? does this feel like this is more adult thinking?

>> yes. >> larry: or do kids really care about it? >> i think that adults and other parents-- i can say this-- a lot of us because we're working so hard, we don't have a whole lot of time, some of us, to devote to our children, and so we rely on justin bieber, selina gomez. >> larry: oh, my god! >> barbie, you know, and mcdonald's to raise our kids. >> that explains a lot. >> it does explain a lot. >> larry: that is a list of hoshes right there.

barbie. because i am a we mexican spawned from the loins of two other we mexicans i never saw barbie as being attainable. she was like a mythical beast or a unicorn. >> larry: a beast. >> completely unrealistic. >> larry: what was interesting, i saw some little girls eye don't know why they have to all be barbies. can't they have different names. one girl said, "this isn't barbie?" why couldn't they just have different names? why did they-- >> mean like curvy barbie shouldn't be barbie. she should be rhonda or something like that. >> larry: exactly, that's my point. >> rhonda's got her own problems. you know what i mean? >> larry: rhonda has her own issues. >> barbie's doing fine. barbie has the dream house and ken. but rhonda has somebody named carl, you know what i mean? he fixes the jeeps for ken. >> when ken's not around--
